New event system

Natso · 01-03-2014

I mean most the time there is 30-64/3-3.5 k chance of you getting in... It's like winning the lottery and not getting a guaranteed prize :/

^this

Dusty introduced it yesterday, when an event pm is sent there's a little button where the "reply" button would be on a normal pm, it says queue, you press it to join the queue for an event. If you're lucky you get picked

I'd assume that it's either that or no events then.

The reason that he would implement that is because the server is too laggy for spawning event warps, so it's essentially a replacement for now.

Agreed, earlier today some admin accidentally opened a warper for an event, and the server lagged really badly. Like Sarah.

Plus, it gives a chance to players who don't normally win events or find the warpers enough. Also, now we won't have five people from ET getting into Freeze Tag or Bush Race.

True, though I don't see the issue with ET members getting into events. "Event" is sorta in the name, of course they're good at em.

ET hasn't been that active as they normally are, and bush race/freeze tag is like out of the definition of events now because the admins never host them. And it doesn't really give a good chance it just made it even harder for players to actually get the hats they actually wanted forever. In a way you're right new players will get to win events but so what if old players win them too? After all its best to learn from the best to become the best <~~~~(Say that 10 times fast, and I mean irl)

Fire Surge is right. People were complaining staff weren't hosting events anymore. Want to know why? Typically the amount of players who respond to the Event Queue are 1000+. 1000 players who want to get into an event.

The old system of spawning an event warper meant that 1000 players were trying to get to that event door... 1000 players going to the same place is very bad. This is why the server grinds to a halt when an event warper is dropped with 2000+ players. This is why staff weren't allowed to host when the player count is over 2000. This is why there weren't events.

It might seem unfair that you don't get picked... and ya it probably sucks. But you know who doesn't think it sucks? The players who typically never, ever get a chance to participate in an event because it's always the same group of players.

It's not replacing Event Door's, but event doors can't be used... so which would you rather? No events or being randomly picked?

I don't get it. Why is it okay for old players to win events over and over, but it's not fair that new players get a chance? I just don't get it, older players think they're so entitled to having more fun than newer players?

No no no, you mistook me. I mean its fine for all players to win I didnt mean only the old players.

Ah, ya okay. See I don't care if old players win. That's kind of the point, to be an equal chance for everyone to participate.

Sounds pretty neat. Guess I'll have to log onto Classic more!

Eugeen · 01-03-2014

Im so happy with this! Finally the huge lagg spikes are gone when events are hosted

Natso · 01-04-2014

Dusty , so ur saying that now it gives people so never ever get into an event a chance and there's no lag issues. We'll I was just gonna get into events but there no point in it now , I'll make a bet right now I won't her into a event anywhere in the next couple of months and maybe even a year . Yes the old system made allot of lag but at least it require graal knowledge to enter a event ... Now watch noobs who come play graal for literally a day get into stupid events , win chance or something and quit the next day.

Also u say it's to laggy when you host a event in the server we'll do something about the stupid sever it self , it's laggy most the time anyways and it has made things like spar not depend so much in skill any more but on player lag... This stupid sever can't hold 3k with out making everything lag , so what fk you plan to do when it reaches 4k or even 5k I the server don't crash by then ...

( Ik some of these you can't do anything about I was just saying stuff that if like an answer to if possible , excuse my grammar or any mistakes I rush wrote this at 1:23 am
